NOTES

  • This asymmetrical shawl begins at one corner and is worked with increases along one edge to create a triangle. Cable crosses are worked on wrong-side rows so that every right-side row of the shawl is all knit stitches.

  • A circular needle is used to accommodate the large number of stitches.
